ADAM: this video is a perfect example of why Im a faithful viewer. It has everything: speeds, feeds, and how to tips and techniques. Another exceptionally well done video. Thanks
I watch all your videos. You are a really great teacher/instructor. You tell us both how, and why you do things the way you do.I just want to say thank you. Even though i don't have a working lathe. It's very nice to get the basics from you. I really enjoyed the GE large shaper videos. They were really good, and informative. I also enjoy your bolt removal videos. You are so good at taking them out. Keep doing what your doing. I will be watching. Your channel is my goto channel. Thanks Adam. Your Videos are Awesome.
You should look up Castrols Hysol SL 36 XBB water-soluble cutting fluid, We had a major fungal/bacteria infection in our horizontal cnc pallet mill, where the fluid would foul up in mere days of the machine sitting still with an aerator going, We called our castrol rep and asked for assistance and he came, did some tests and switched us to the aforementioned cutting fluid, the machine had a downtime of over 2 months and when we started production again the cutting fluid was as clean as the day we mixed it and poured it in the machine, another positive about it is that it has no biocides in it and it doesn't form any formaldehyde over time.
You should get the punch set out and put the date on the faced end of the bar that will be inside the clapperbox. That way you can always look back down the road and know you made this mod in 2018. 😁👍
Great Adam, making your own high quality tooling must be so satisfying -- "And in this wing of the facility we have the popular Adam Booth exhibit - please do not steal the chips ladies and gentlemen, souveniers are available in the front lobby" lol
I'm am so glad I found you. I'm a welder and fabricator in my career. Basically a mill right and you are the machinist I wish I could be...lol love your content. Thanks
Great work with a tough material. Having the right equipment for the material makes a big difference in a shops abilities. Can't wait to see it put to use.
Adam, Thank You so very much. Your presentations have been a great source of inspiration and have encouraged me to finally get my hands dirty with a 63 year old Schaublin VF-51 milling machine. I have so far thought that precise work needs small and delicate machines. What I have learned is that this is actually not the case. Although that 1 metric ton cast iron sculpture is going to take a lot of precious space I am convinced that it will be a good deal after all. One more time, thanks for sharing the massive amount of information.
Its always fun and educatening to watch your vids Adam :) Realy love how clean you keep your shop, so much more fun to work in an area like that :) First time for me seeing a 6 jaw chuck and it looks and works great :)
Great video, love that 6 jaw, it may be my imagination but the lathe actually seems to be running smoother and quieter with this chuck, and the the music that you added in for this video is spot on.
Quick tip, when you change your coolant put a bit of Pine Sol in the coolant, it will keep the coolant from getting rancid. Since you don’t use it daily it get that way. I actually put some in my cool mist bottle for the same reason.
Adam , your looking so great.. Not sure what yur doing but AWESOME . I love that ole shaper .. Can't wait to see internal chips man .. ENJOYED .. THUMBS UP !!
It would be nice to see how you maintain your shop. What does it take to clean all the chips from the work area. Also what happens to the flood coolant.
My shop is getting more Abom friendly every day. Got a UNION boring mill this past year along with a Pratt and Whitney vertical shaper. Just ignore the CNC mill and lathe lol. Just me (37) and Dad (67).
Hey Adam, have you ever considered putting some kind of spring steel inside the rubber tube on those thread triangles? I'm wondering if making it into a horseshoe type shape would help hold them on for ya.
Hi Adam I am not a machinist but stumbled across your channel a while back and All I can say is WOW you do great work. One of the things that impresses and amazes me is how you can take a chunck of metal some times a little rusty in places and turn it in to a beautiful brite shiny functional part for somebody. Also you conmand of mathematics amazes me as some times 2+2 does not always equal 4 for me lol. The way you throw around those measurements in thousanths and fractions of thousanths is inpressive. Now a question that has nothing to do with your work other than the very good videos you make . What editor software do you use ? Thank you Jerry
I don't understand why the stainless was an issue? Was it because you wanted to save the material for a more special part or does it have to do with machinability?
Rigidity for the most part. That cut that sounds like a stuck pig usually means high nickle content. That grade of steel is "gummy" and soft. Looks pretty but lousy for tooling.
That 6 jaw is a nice gift and addition to the shop.. I used to have people give me stuff over the years or pick up stuff at the auction but never anything like that
Very cool video. I think you just came up with an awesome idea as a video and that is determining mystery metals. What makes you think this is stainless? Do the chips not have any color to them? I recently ran into a similar issue where I thought what I was turning was prehardened steel but IMO was stainless but I am no expert so I think with your experience this would be a great video. I know you can never guarantee what any particular material is but with your knowledge we could have a better idea of what we would have based off of how it turns, the kind of chips we get and the finish we are able to achieve. Thanks for the awesome video
Adam says, at 20:35 , "Can't leave that saw cut on there. Henh henh." This is the mark of a true master. He says, "Just cleaning it up at 21:30 as the tool on the lathe does just that.
Great video Adam! Always my #1 favorites. Looking good man. I am visiting Brad Jacob on the 4th AND attending Mr. Pete's Meet-and-Greet on the 14th. A little birdy told me there are more than 80 signed up as of 2 weeks ago. I can't wait!
don johnston: Dang! I was making mine at home... Do you mean these things are actually made in the factories by processes refined by engineers for years? Wow... Who knew... And, you are saying these inserts are thermally shocked while producing them?
Thank you don johnston!!! You saved me bunch of time................ In reality, 2 minutes google search (for something I already knew) results in this: ISCAR is one of the major makers of inserts, right?. Here is what they say about thermally shocking the insert -> iscar.co.nz/wordpress/dry-or-wet-machining/.. To save your virgin eyes the trouble of "reading" -> "Extreme temperatures result in plastic deformation of the cutting edge, whilst the presence of temperature differences leads to thermal cracks."
Yes thekad you're absolutely correct. Thanks for telling me something "I" already know. Listen to what Adam says at 10:02 and I will rephrase my first comment to: "There are plenty more where they came from" (a factory everyday). 😁
@@thekaduu "Extreme temperatures result in plastic deformation of the cutting edge." (That part has nothing to do with the "shock" you referenced in the video. Also, "Extreme temperatures for carbide are really high, and it would be very hard to get anywhere near that temperature on a manual lathe, esp one this size.) Also, that cut wasn't happening very long, and wasn't very aggressive, so the cool tool holder & tool post were sinking heat out of the insert. The insert wasn't very hot. Most of the heat was going out with the chip. That's why the steam was generated when the coolant hit the chips. Either way, the insert will be fine.
Adam, Would it be OK to use the threat pitch gauge to measure the depth? Is that accurate enough or is the TP gauge just for "counting" threads? Regards, Eric
It's not affecting the finish so it shouldn't be something too extreme, possibly just the grain of the metal at that point in the shaft or most simply just cutting vibration causing the chip to break off longer or shorter. sure got me curious though
Just the way the chips work. Basically it is just barely curling past the cut edge and breaking over against the toolholder. Sometimes it catches on the workpiece and pops up into the air. The next chips are still connected for some time to the previous until the break, so when one pops up, they continue that way until one finds its way around the workpiece. If you watch some of his videos from work they will do that a lot, and make quite a loud popping noise when they rebound off the work.
What is the advantage of a 6-Jaw-Chuck over a 3-Jaw-Chuck? I don't think it's the fine adjustment with the 4 screws at the back, because 3-Jaw-Chucks can have that aswell.
Thanks for the video abom. Im looking to start purchasing some equipment of my own. Do you have any tips for locating a good deal and what to look out for when buying used machinery?
What has changed with the ads? I used to get one at the beginning. Now I'm getting several interruptions during the video. Is this on my end, or did Adam change something?
I was wondering that too, then realised that the supports thread into the adjusters vs the adjuster threading into the support, like I think we were both expecting.
Somethng as simple as a tool holder you still make it look like a work of art..... By the way where can I get a set of thread triangles and one of those oil cans you like so much. Thanks
Thanks for another good video Adam! I was watching one of "That Lazy Machinists" videos on chips, speeds and feeds and started wondering about flood coolant. Marc talks about the heat needed when cutting through plastic deformation. I've never used flood coolant myself and so I don't know what difference if makes in surface finish and machineability but since you need a certain amount of heat to separate a chip cleanly, wouldn't cooling the cutting tip down kind of prevent that? Or maybe it just means that you can cut at higher speeds and feeds? Best regards Karl
Jesse Robertson - that didn't answer my question. Adam chose not to use the SS he has started with and look for a piece of 1045. Clearly, there was a reason that he wanted to wait and find something other than the stainless he had on hand. I am curious as to why he didn't want to use the stainless.
Jesse Robertson it’s all good- no harm, no foul. I don’t know much about metal work, but Adam and Tony and Mr Pete have me fascinated. I’d love to have access to a mill and lathe, but until the, UA-cam will have to suffice.
Yeah 29½° is the way I was always taught and how I have always single pointed my threads. I had formal machine training. But lately I have noticed a couple very good machinists on UA-cam only feeding in with the Cross Slide and not even setting the compound. I was curious how Adam did his. Because I didn't notice any movement of the compound in the video (not that it would be easy to see). I'll have to go back and see it. Thanks
Feeding directly in with the compound works nicely for finer threads. It is easier to hit a target depth. Feeding directly in with a deep coarse thread does not always work so well. Just imagine the chip rolling up on both sides of the tool, and then both chips trying to occupy the same space above the tool. You end up with the chip marring the thread faces, chatter, and even broken tools. You have to back off on depth of cut and feed rate or you will snap to tip off the tool, which makes the job slower and limits finding the right feed/speed combo.
You won't look on time being a miracle when you're old and grey. I think movie magic is more fitting to the change of scene from stainless to the 1045, which is one hell of a drop, really? That couldn't have been headed to scrap was it? Love the vids., as always, thanks.
Love the content of your videos....I notice when your turning a long shaft you never adjust your tailstock. It seemed anytime I had a long enough workpiece I had to hold between centers, I'd get a taper and have to make an adjustment. What's your secret?
ADAM: this video is a perfect example of why Im a faithful viewer. It has everything: speeds, feeds, and how to tips and techniques. Another exceptionally well done video. Thanks

I love your enthusiasm and dedication to quality while still enjoying what you do. Another nice project Mr!
Never get tired of seeing the ol' Monarch!
Lots of blue chips despite the flood coolant, whatta force of nature that Monarch is!
"Like it was machined for it..." made me chuckle.
Great work with a tough material. Having the right equipment for the material makes a big difference in a shops abilities. Can't wait to see it put to use.
If you add just a long enough piece of copper wire into that rubber tube, you may have yourself a "stay put" setup for your thread triangle gages.
Excellent idea!
Adam,
Thank You so very much. Your presentations have been a great source of inspiration and have encouraged me to finally get my hands dirty with a 63 year old Schaublin VF-51 milling machine.
I have so far thought that precise work needs small and delicate machines. What I have learned is that this is actually not the case. Although that 1 metric ton cast iron sculpture is going to take a lot of precious space I am convinced that it will be a good deal after all.
One more time, thanks for sharing the massive amount of information.
Its always fun and educatening to watch your vids Adam :) Realy love how clean you keep your shop, so much more fun to work in an area like that :) First time for me seeing a 6 jaw chuck and it looks and works great :)
Every time I see your videos I wish I had a lathe, I’d mess with it making things every day just for the fun of it👍
Watching machining by Adam is to me like watching Disney when I was young. Fascinating.
Great video, love that 6 jaw, it may be my imagination but the lathe actually seems to be running smoother and quieter with this chuck, and the the music that you added in for this video is spot on.
Probably because the air chopping noise is higher frequency now.
It's so nice to have options when you go to make something :)
That Monarch lathe is a beast. Great content Adam. Greetings from the Netherlands
Nice job, Those carbide bits are awesome. and the new 6 jaw chuck,I need to have one of those. Thanks Rick
Oh look at all the pretty blue chips. I always liked seeing those when I was a machinist. Nice finish!
Nice one Adam. Always enjoy watching your videos.
Quick tip, when you change your coolant put a bit of Pine Sol in the coolant, it will keep the coolant from getting rancid. Since you don’t use it daily it get that way. I actually put some in my cool mist bottle for the same reason.
Maybe one day we can get Adam to demonstrate how to cut a multi-start thread.
Now that's a good idea.
You indicated that almost as fast as I would have...Nice Job...😎 I'm so funny...you are very good at that
Yay!
Using the new 6 jaw.
Thanks as always.
The squeal gave it away, as soon as the first tool bit hit that end I knew it was stainless.
Just awesome. Great video. Thanks for sharing Adam.
BEAUTIFUL chips. Straw color at the cut, blue in the pan.
Adam , your looking so great.. Not sure what yur doing but AWESOME . I love that ole shaper .. Can't wait to see internal chips man .. ENJOYED .. THUMBS UP !!
Always good stuff when a new video pops up :) Greetings from Sweden :)
Thanks for the tip on the way oil, Good to see the old girl work.
i was hoping you would use the 6 jaw to turn it, you kinda did so its good to see it used. great video.
Amazing work Sir, a joy to watch.
Time to use the hardness testing kit you just got?
It would be nice to see how you maintain your shop. What does it take to clean all the chips from the work area. Also what happens to the flood coolant.
The Monarch throwing all those chips is like machinist porn! I couldn't look away. Great shots Adam.
Not very popular but I like my thread triangles! Great to see you using them.
You make it look so easy!
Nice video as always adam. I would like a followup video on how you clean the lathe. My concern is coolant?
I had a nice time again, you're like old faithful. :-D
My shop is getting more Abom friendly every day. Got a UNION boring mill this past year along with a Pratt and Whitney vertical shaper. Just ignore the CNC mill and lathe lol. Just me (37) and Dad (67).
Really nice work...you make look like it´s simple and a natural thing working on a lathe. keep that videos coming please... Regards from Portugal
Hey Adam, have you ever considered putting some kind of spring steel inside the rubber tube on those thread triangles? I'm wondering if making it into a horseshoe type shape would help hold them on for ya.
Be awesome to see that bar in action. Nice video Adam, I could not have left that saw cut either :-)
Thanks for the video Adam 🙂
Awesome video, thanks for sharing. "Like it was machined for it" I almost spit coke everywhere when you said that...God bless

I just wanted to know why you don't use your lnmx insert anymore. The chips were so beautiful!

Rigidity for the most part. That cut that sounds like a stuck pig usually means high nickle content. That grade of steel is "gummy" and soft. Looks pretty but lousy for tooling.
Adam, great video looking forward to the upcoming videos on the G & E Shaper with your new tool.!.!.!. Thanks for sharing.!.!.!.
Thanks for the trick with pitch Triangles !!! i'll make two right now !!! Thanks a bunch !!!
That 6 jaw is a nice gift and addition to the shop.. I used to have people give me stuff over the years or pick up stuff at the auction but never anything like that
Great full length video.
Thanks ABOM.
Never seen thread triangles before, make sense. thanks for sharing.

Love the videos. Always learning stuff from you.
How do you clean up all the chips from your lathe? It's got to be a pain. You just vacuum everything?
At 9:16 when coolant was turned on... Wouldn't that cause micro cracks on the carbide insert?
Inserts are made in factories everyday of the week. 👌🇨🇦

No, Because you may have a larger or smaller diameter and the thread gauge will still show it perfect.
what is with the intermittent rate of chips coming off around 10:20 the coolant flow seems steady so it's a little odd
Stick-slip in the power feed?
It's not affecting the finish so it shouldn't be something too extreme, possibly just the grain of the metal at that point in the shaft or most simply just cutting vibration causing the chip to break off longer or shorter. sure got me curious though

The 6 jaw has an additional 3 jaws to help hold the part tighter.
6jaw will hold the part more securely with less pressure per jaw. You get less marring and distortion with a 6jaw over a 3jaw.
@@joshua43214 Thanks for the answer.
Also if i remember correctly the 3 jaw he got was not very repeatable.
joshua43214 yes of course , but you can always buy pie jaws in a specific application , and that type of jaws hold the piece nearly 360°
Hello from Aus. You could cut the tool bit square with the shaper.
Nice workbench you got there nyuk nuyk nyuk.

Me too. Guess youtube is promoting their new ad free Premium subscription by slapping more commercials on you.
Premium is not new, its just a new name. Was called youtube red before.
Beautiful! Wish I could turn my 10-45 to the same standard.:)
Is there a reason that the steady rest uses left hand threads?
I was wondering that too, then realised that the supports thread into the adjusters vs the adjuster threading into the support, like I think we were both expecting.
Good video, thanks for sharing.
Adam nice work.
So...that sure is a biggg shiny ROD you got there Abom!
Somethng as simple as a tool holder you still make it look like a work of art..... By the way where can I get a set of thread triangles and one of those oil cans you like so much. Thanks
Don't know about the thread triangles but I know you can get the can from Amazon. (probably the thread triangles too come to think)
KBC Tools I bet has them and Adam has a promo code for KBC as well. Its in the description of this video actually! :-)
I have seen them in my SPI tool catalog. KBC can source them for you.
Thanks.... I will give it a look see.
I’ve seen these these thread triangles and never knew what they were. Do you prefer them over thread wires (Pee Dee wires) ?
Thanks for another good video Adam! I was watching one of "That Lazy Machinists" videos on chips, speeds and feeds and started wondering about flood coolant.

Under stated,marvelous.
you should put an air pump and air stone in your coolant to keep it moving and not sit stagnate. might help you with coolant longevity.
nice table
Why not use stainless? Why is the 1045 steel better than SS for a boring bar?
Because it was free. It's a salvage find according to part 1.
Jesse Robertson - that didn't answer my question. Adam chose not to use the SS he has started with and look for a piece of 1045. Clearly, there was a reason that he wanted to wait and find something other than the stainless he had on hand. I am curious as to why he didn't want to use the stainless.
drhender - Sorry realized that as soon as I posted.
Jesse Robertson it’s all good- no harm, no foul. I don’t know much about metal work, but Adam and Tony and Mr Pete have me fascinated. I’d love to have access to a mill and lathe, but until the, UA-cam will have to suffice.
Don’t forget to check out Clickspring!
Great for home machinists!
I love your perfectionist side. 🤓
Thread triangle?
Where i can buy this?
E bay???
"one good rap is worth all the indicating in the world".
"Just like it was machined". lol Too much fun.
Miracle of time? You must watch the BBQ Pit Boys!
Informative as usual.
And can that coolant stink when it's old.
Adam, when you cut threads are you just going in with your Cross Slide or your compound? I have seen it done both ways.
He feeds the compound at 29½° not the cross slide. (Usually/historically that's how he does it.)
I just saw the threading part. He even says he's feeding the compound at 16:09
Yeah 29½° is the way I was always taught and how I have always single pointed my threads. I had formal machine training. But lately I have noticed a couple very good machinists on UA-cam only feeding in with the Cross Slide and not even setting the compound. I was curious how Adam did his. Because I didn't notice any movement of the compound in the video (not that it would be easy to see). I'll have to go back and see it. Thanks
The technique I use is compound in-feed.
Feeding directly in with the compound works nicely for finer threads. It is easier to hit a target depth.
Feeding directly in with a deep coarse thread does not always work so well. Just imagine the chip rolling up on both sides of the tool, and then both chips trying to occupy the same space above the tool. You end up with the chip marring the thread faces, chatter, and even broken tools. You have to back off on depth of cut and feed rate or you will snap to tip off the tool, which makes the job slower and limits finding the right feed/speed combo.
Nice work good video.
Shall we? We shall!
Hi Adam, What model NogaFlex are you using on the Victor ans Monarch?
Examplar of a wizard.
Like it was made for it! Imagine that! lol
You won't look on time being a miracle when you're old and grey. I think movie magic is more fitting to the change of scene from stainless to the 1045, which is one hell of a drop, really? That couldn't have been headed to scrap was it? Love the vids., as always, thanks.

Glad you ditched the SS for the 1045, many don't realize how soft SS is..
